Compression apparatus and systems for circulatory disorders

A garment for providing circulatory system disorder therapy, the garment comprising:

• a skin contacting layer with a plurality of recessed portions;
• a backing layer coupled to the skin contacting layer such that the skin contacting layer and the backing layer form a plurality of macro-chambers, a first one of the plurality of macro-chambers being partitioned into a plurality of micro-chambers formed by the plurality of recessed portions of the skin contacting layer, each of the plurality of micro-chambers being in direct fluid communication with at least one other of the plurality of micro-chambers;
• and
• a coupling coupled to the backing layer and being configured to supply pressurized air directly into the first macro-chamber such that the pressurized air is delivered to a first one of the plurality of micro-chambers of the first macro-chamber;
• a middle layer in cooperation with the plurality of recessed portions and extending between the skin contacting layer and the backing layer to form side walls for each of the plurality of micro-chambers, the middle layer being a different layer from the skin contacting layer and the backing layer;
• wherein the middle layer forms a plurality of micro-conduits acting as passive valves between the plurality of micro-chambers of the first macro-chamber such that pressurized air in the first micro-chamber is able to move via a first one of the plurality of micro-conduits into at least one other one of the plurality of micro-chambers.
